I checked my KZbin notifications this morning and saw the thumbnail with this car and something about it really brought back a memory from the past. I've been building plastic car model kits for over fifty-five years and collecting 1/64 scale (and scale-ish) die-cast cars from different manufacturers for roughly the same length of time. This was just before the dawn of Hot Wheels. Somewhere back in time, I had seen this car before. A plastic kit? A die-cast car? I did a little checking and found the Matchbox version of a red '57 Chev "gasser". I was certain that someone over the years had also done a "Cherry Bomb" in a plastic kit, either a '55 or a '57 Chev but have yet to find proof of it's existence. Beautiful car and superb attention to detail.

Man the detail work on this car is absolutely off the charts. 57 Chevys are one of my favorites. That car is next level. I love the paint work. Thanks for the video Tim. Bruce in Wv!!!!

Actually this was filmed a few months ago. I had forgot I put the video together back then. So when I came across the video I thought I'd best put it out. It's been below freezing for a couple weeks here. Very very cold. 🧊❄🧊❄🧊
